Treat preference: Yes, please! One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats, and if some of these can be inexpensive and quickly procured so much the better. Iris Murdoch

I will create:
A fanwork of the following type(s): fic
In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Books: Doyle - Canon; Springer - Enola Holmes. TV/Film:Granada TV Show; Sherlock BBC; Enola Holmes. Comics/radio/other: Bert Coules radio dramatizations; Sherlock & Co.
For one or more of the following characters or relationships: Holmes/Watson; Holmes & Enola; Mycroft & Enola; Sherlock & Mycroft (& Enola); or any permutation of this list where Holmes/Watson is a given.
I like working with one or more of the following categories: Fluff; Angst; Post-Reichenbach; Alternate Universe; Hurt/Comfort; Established Relationship; Crossover; Friendship; Disability; Humor; Case Fic (I'm not great at this and tend to crib shamelessly from ACD canon but I'm willing to try); First Time; Friendship; Drug Addiction; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence; Family Drama; Family Shenanigans; I am particularly fond of writing Enola verbally sparring with Mycroft.
With any of the following ratings: 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 3) explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes; 5) moderate to explicit graphic violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes
I am willing to create for the following squicks and/or kinks: dubcon; non-con/rape; torture; domestic abuse; alcohol/drug abuse; self-harm; suicidal ideation or implied suicide; child abuse. I appear cute and fluffy to the casual observer, but I am quite willing to write angst. I prefer to write happy and/or hopeful endings. I am not prone to utter despair and hopelessness.



I want to receive:
A fanwork of the following type(s): art, fic, vids, graphics, podfic, music--it's all good!
In one or more of the following parts of fandom:Books: Canon; Springer-Enola Holmes. TV/Film:Granada TV Show; Sherlock BBC; Enola Holmes. Comics/radio/other: Bert Coules radio dramatizations; Sherlock & Co.
For one or more of the following characters or relationships: Holmes/Watson; Holmes & Enola; Mycroft & Enola; Sherlock & Mycroft (& Enola); or any permutation of this list where Holmes/Watson is a given.
I like stuff in the following categories: Fluff; Angst; Post-Reichenbach; Alternate Universe; Romance; Hurt/Comfort; Established Relationship; Crossover; Friendship; Humor; Disability; PTSD; Case Fic; First Time; Friendship; Drug Addiction; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence.
With any of the following ratings: 2) non-explicit sexual content; 3) explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes; 5) moderate to explicit graphic violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes
I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: dubcon; non-con/rape; torture; domestic abuse; alcohol/drug abuse; self-harm; child abuse.

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: Something spicy, not necessarily explicit and not PWP--I like my spice with an actual plot. I often enjoy a not-completely-settled ending but I don't want to be left unbearably bereft or despairing. Absolutely no main character death or actual suicide. (Reichenbach issues are fine, especially if you want to improve on the disaster that was the Moftiss take on it.) I love family stories, so including Enola and/or Rosie would be welcomed. I do not approve of the way Nancy Springer wrote Mama Holmes, so feel free to improve on that! I do not think that Mr. and Mrs. Holmes, as portrayed in BBC Sherlock were as awful as Sherlock and Mycroft made them out to be (because Eurus does NOT exist) so I will take them in a "good enough parent" scenario. Along with my spice, I want some angst, too. That said, I am always up for silly fluffiness. Not crack, necessarily, but fun.
Special requests: I'd like to stretch a bit--please, some spice, some angst--I can write fluff with my eyes closed. I haven't tried Sherlock & Co, so I'm willing to dip my toes into that particular pool. I am also quite fond of research, so historical fic is always welcome. I'd prefer to write characters from BBC, Enola Holmes (TV), or Sherlock & Co and am willing to set them almost anywhere from the dawn of time to the present. (Ok, that may be an exaggeration, but hopefully you get the idea). I'd like to get away from ACD if possible.

As ever, I absolutely love retirement era fluff. Holmes and Watson settled in Sussex with the bees, pottering about, makes me very happy.
I strongly read Holmes as autistic, so I’d love to see that included. The boy can hold so many sensory issues, and so much projection!
Something that would be really interesting to see is the boys interacting with the queer culture of their era. I’m thinking canon Holmes going to Molly houses, Rathbone Holmes speaking polari and going to underground clubs.
Do not want: any reference to vomit.

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive:
Do Not Want: Non-con, Permanent character death, Detailed descriptions of gore like blood, viscera, etc. Anything involving feces or urine, cheating, 2nd person POV, tragic endings

Rathbone Holmes prompts:
-anything about the two of them surviving the real trials of WWII together, like The Blitz, rationing, in one film we saw that Watson had gone to the country to volunteer at a home that looked after wounded soldiers so if you would like to explore Watson's medical service that would be good too. Also, assuming in this universe Watson's army service would have been in WWI, does he have any trauma or PTSD around that, and having to go through another war? Maybe going through all of this together convinces them to stop hesitating and get together.
-in The Spider Woman the villain set it up so that Watson would kill Holmes and not even realize it, we can assume that Watson found out about this afterwards, how did he feel about this? How did Holmes feel knowing that his beloved companion would be the instrument of his own death?
-in The Woman in the Green Dress, hypnotism is used on both Watson and Holmes at different points, and I really thought Moriarty was going to have Watson hypnotized and he would be sent to harm, kill, (or in my fanfic brain) possibly seduce Holmes. Also, what if Holmes had actually been hypnotized and hadn't just been pretending? How does Watson care for Holmes after he was recused from Moriarty?
-in the Pursuit to Algiers at the beginning of the film it is mentioned that Holmes is unwell and the Doctor has prescribed a long vacation for rest, what do we think is the issue? I picture Holmes collapsing from exhaustion after they made sure the prince has made it to safety and Watson must care for him
-sex pollen (or cuddle pollen!), there is exactly one sex pollen fic on AO3 for this fandom and I would love to read another one
-Holmes & Watson having to pretend to be a couple for a case
-Holmes’ enemies hurt Watson to get back at Holmes. So they kidnap him, or beat him up, or something else, to send Holmes a message. You can make it a canonical enemy like Moriarty and his gang, Baron Gruner, etc, or you can make up your own evil villain.
-Watson gets drugged in some fashion (by accident? by some villain?) and it makes him overly affectionate and amorous with Holmes. Also, maybe cue scene after he has sobered up and poor Watson is so embarrassed, but maybe it leads to them having a discussion around their feelings for each other?
-Watson has made the acquaintance of a widow woman on a neighbouring street, and somehow Holmes has discovered that every once and awhile Watson and this woman engage in “intimate relations” i.e. sex. This greatly disturbs Holmes, but he has a hard time understanding why at first, it takes some introspection for Holmes to realize it’s because he has romantic feelings for his Watson (About the widow, I see her being an independent woman about the same age as Watson, and she has no interest in marrying Watson, they just like to have a little fun on occasion)
-Watson sustains a severe head injury, and afterwards he has trouble concentrating or experiences mood swings, or anything else you can think of, and Watson is afraid he is no longer a fit companion for Holmes

The Great Mouse Detective prompts:
-any hurt/comfort is appreciated. Maybe Dawson patches Basil up after his encounter with Rattigan, or maybe Dawson gets hurt/ill and needs to be cared for
-a villain goes after Dawson for some reason (to get back at Basil, because Dawson helped someone the villain hates, etc) and Basil goes into protection mode, no one hurts his companion!
-Dawson adjusting to living with Basil, with his constant experiments, his bouts of melancholy, etc., and maybe Basil having to learn to have a little consideration for his new flatmate. Also, how chuffed is Basil that he has a companion now just like Holmes has Watson, I'm sure he's very pleased about it.
-Basil is in trouble (kidnapped?, trapped?) and Dawson has to try his best to find clues and use Basil's network and tools to find him before it's too late
-If you're an artist and want to show me what you think the mouse versions of Lestrade or Mycroft look like, and what their names would be, that would be delightful

Sherlock & Daughter prompts:
-Watson was so huggy and clingy when Holmes found him because he was drugged, I would love to see more of that, maybe during the carriage ride back or at their return to Baker St. Just Watson not wanting to let Holmes go.
-if you want to explore any internal angst either felt during their separation that would be great, and maybe once they are together again it leads to the two of them revealing their feelings for each other
-Holmes and Watson trying to co-parent Amelia in some fashion, like they have a young woman living with them that might need some guidance on occasion, are they good at it? Bad? Somewhere in between?

The Peter Serafinowicz Show prompts:
-if you would like to try and make sense of the case going on in the background go right ahead
-Holmes appears to become amorous when he solves a case and Watson praises him, has this ever happened or almost happened at inopportune times or places? Do they have to try and restrain themselves until they get to the nearest private room?
-Watson seems quite shocked at Holmes behaviour, obviously they have been working cases before and this has never occurred, what made the dam break for Holmes in this case?

Special requests: N/A

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: I like my fluff cut with something sharper. Hurt/comfort is lovely. I adore angst and mutual pining as long as there is a happy ending. MCD is fine (either to write or to receive) as long as it is at the end of a long and happy life together. I have a particular soft spot for old, married, retired Holmes/Watson, and a deep love of Warlock Holmes.

Summer 2026 Signups are OPEN!

The sign-ups are now open!

Treats Policy: As of February 2022, AO3 has introduced a setting to let users opt out of receiving additional gifts outside of formal exchanges (in Holmestice terms, "treats"). Please indicate whether you are or are not open to receiving additional fan works based on your sign-up. Also be sure to check your AO3 account preferences, under "Collections, Challenges and Gifts". AO3 accounts made before February 2022 default to ALLOW gifts, whereas new accounts default not to. Because signups are not handled through AO3, you MUST turn on treat ability if you want your gift posted to AO3. More information regarding this setting is available on AO3.

If you have a Dreamwidth account, join the Dreamwidth community and create a new post using the template below with your offer and request. The template is designed to be used with the HTML editor (not the Rich Text editor).

If you do not want a Dreamwidth account, you can leave your sign-up as a comment on this post using the "Anonymous" option. If you choose to use the Anonymous option, please make sure you correctly fill in all the identifying info in the template, so we know who signed up and how to contact you.



The sign-up template below includes ratings for what you're willing to create and would like to receive. Sexual content is deliberately separated from violence and other mature themes, so if you are someone who enjoys PWP but not violence, you have an easy way of indicating that (or vice versa) for the mods and other Holmestice participants.

The template also includes a list of suggested Holmesian fandoms and iterations. This is not an exhaustive list -- if you have another fandom in mind, please include it in your sign up! Alternatively, if you're open to offering or receiving any Holmesian fandom, please feel free to say so. (Although do make clear what you mean by "any" -- very few people truly can offer every pastiche, film, television, radio, and graphic novel adaptation ever made!)

Please note when putting down relationships:
  • "/" (e.g., "Holmes/Watson") indicates a romantic or sexual relationship
  • "&" (e.g., "Holmes & Watson") indicates a friendship or other platonic/fraternal/non-sexual/non-romantic relationship

Do please make sure you're using / and & correctly in your sign-ups, as we use it to determine matches, and your match will use it to determine what sort of relationships to write for you.

Matches will be made on fandom, characters/pairings, categories, and ratings. All other details you include (besides any "do not wants") are optional; i.e., your gift-maker may take inspiration from any specific prompt you include, but they are not required to use them.

New this round: By popular request original music has been added to gift type! You can offer or request this along with fic, art, podfic, graphics, vids, etc.



Sign-up Template )




You can edit your post until sign-ups close on April 13. Anything you add or delete after that will not be taken into account.

All stories must be a minimum of 1,000 words in length; icon posts must contain at least 10 icons; vids must be at least one minute in length. Any type of fanwork is required to go through some kind of beta process. All finished fanworks must be posted to AO3 and/or sent to the mods at holmesticemods(at)gmail(dot)com on or before May 25. Directions on how to post/submit your work will be posted to the community later in the round. If you don't submit your work by the due date and have not contacted us for an extension, we will automatically look for a pinch hitter.

If you need your recipient to clarify their prompt or if you want to ask whether they're all right with that one particular thing you'd like to include, please contact us at holmesticemods(at)gmail(dot)com, and we'll forward the question for you to preserve your anonymity.

Please remember that if you sign up to receive a gift, it'll only be fair if you create one as well. That said, if you have to drop out of the exchange for any reason, please contact one of the moderators as soon as possible by e-mailing us at holmesticemods(at)gmail(dot)com so we can find a pinch hitter to create a gift for your intended recipient.

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out!

Note for this round: Two members of the mod team, [personal profile] iwantthatcoat and [personal profile] vulgarweed, will be at 221B Con in Atlanta during the weekend of April 9-12, spreading the word about the exchange and hopefully bringing in new folks. There will be a panel and meet-up, like last year, which was a big success. Come find us and talk Holmestice with us!

AI-generated pieces are not welcome in this exchange.
